Mr Sanders, President of Warner Home Video, is not a happy camper (see the New York Times article). I suspect he's not happy with Blu and the way the article reads, has essentially given Blu an ultimatum....shit or get off the pot!!! It's going to very interesting as to how this whole business shakes out especially since I get no feeling that Blu-ray software titles are on their way down...not even during the holidays.
You didn't answer my question. I have never seen anything saying that Warner is losing money on BD. If you have seen this, point to it. You brought up blah blah 10 to 1 blah blah, explain WTF you were saying. Is a smaller profit actually a loss?

DVD = huge profits and decreasing sales. BD = small profits and increasing sales. You think they are jumping off the BD boat with NO VIABLE ALTERNATIVE at this point. I know they are pushing for people just to record movies off of TNT but the DVR saturation just isn't there yet.
